BKool interactive trainer? Tell me what you know

I am looking at replacing my Giant brand trainer with one of the BKool interactive trainers. I like the idea of having the ability to mimic the resistance of a ride outside when riding inside.

Any information would be great.

I would also like to find out more about this product. A friend of mine just got one and has only used it twice, but he says the biggest annoyance is that you can't really do any out of the saddle work w/o slippage. This is pretty much a deal breaker for me if true. I'd also like to know with the software if there is a limit on distance or route length. It seems I have only seen or read of small or short segments. If I am going to use something like this I would want to be able to do longer rides not just segments. The wahoo kickr is also works with the Bkool premium, but is also twice the price. If anyone has any other information please share it.
